Hopefully the above buses will arrive soon and out in service quickly, so they can start repainting the Citaro's.

Can you confirm where the Citaro's from the Durham Diamond are going yet?

It was taken in Galgorm, near the Wrightbus factory, whilst on road test.

I see the "Fast Cats" branded Scania L94s are now undergoing repaint into the new corporate livery...

On the one on delivery from Wright's, the raised rear part is completely blue. There is red present after the stripe on 5439. https://www.flickr.com/photos/bazza90/31984675101/in/

This is why the white swoop will now be done in vinyl - consistency for the size across all vehicles in the fleet.

Good job nobody other than enthusiasts will notice the guinea-pig Streetlite being slightly different compared to any future Streetlites! I doubt anyone outside of the enthusiast community noticed that the first bus which was repainted into Go North East red (from red, yellow and blue) used a different font for the 'Northern' lettering at the time that livery was rolled out:
